Attorney Rsley Bald to Have Acted as
Legal Representative of Both
Men Involved In Suit.
PENDLETON, Or., Feb. 11. (Special.)
While his Portland attorneys, Harri
son Allen and A. E. Clark, were argu
ing against W. J. Furnlsh's petition
that a receiver be appointed for all the
properties Involved In the Furnlsh-Coe
suits. Dr. II. W. doe today filed an
answer to the complaint made by tho
Furnish Interests several weeks ago.
Coe's attorneys contended the ap
pointment of a receiver was not neces
sary, for the reason that he Is anxious
to turn over to the Inland Irrigation
Company all options, contracts and un
completed business In his possession.
In the answer It Is charged that Attor
ney J. H. Haley, of this city, acted as
attorney for both Coe and Furnish, and
that he took advantage of his position
of trust and confidence with Coe to
the benefit of Furnish, with whom he
conspired.
As proof of this they declare that
Coe has pad Haley more than $1200
since filing of this suit, in settlement
of attorney fees.
Many of the countercharges made In
the answer were practically the same
aa thoso made In the famous million
dollar damage suit filed by Coe against
Furnish, Raley et al., the substance of
which is that W. J. Furnish, Attorney
J. H. Raley and H. L. Moody conspired
against Coe In order to rob him of his
lawful rights and profits in the Irri
gation project at Stanflcld.
Specifically, the answer alleges that
Raley was attorney for both Coe and
Furnish at tile same time, but at all
times was secretly working for the
advancement of the Furnish Interests.
It alleges that Furnish, when ho saw
the success which was attending the
efforts of Coe In selling the lands under
the project at Stanfield, manipulated,
the ' contract which ne held with Coe
to the damage and injury of Coe, and
that he employed sundry devices to
Injure his financial reputation and to
defame him, that he (Furnish) might
secure the profits on the salo of the
lands for himself. '
